Well that is a higher spec'd board but that doesn't make it "better" what are the prices on those 2 Intel boards? Perhaps can find a board in the same price range.

8GB of RAM would be better 1600Mhz if possible
WD Green drives don't make good OS drives they are "slow" and meant for storage.

Does Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H or Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3
Have rebooting problem?
What is Rebooting Problem?
Answer-Well My Dad buyed a PC in 2006 which has Biostar 815(Sorry Forgot the Model)and 256MB Ram every thing gone smoothly for 2-4 days suddenly it started rebooting when he start the PC it works fine for 25-60mins but after that if automatically restarts but it starts booting again and then it starts again and again reboot in 25-40mins and it was till 2009 after then my father decided to change the mobo and ram and CPU to fix this rebooting problem and then he buyed Intel DG31PR which you can see in my rig! and the rebooting problem gone! And then my father decided to only buy Intel board no 3rd party board! Well to convince him to buy a 3rd party board i must have a full proof advice that the Gigabyte board does not reboots!
SO any one can tell me that?

So have AsRock they make boards with similar failure rates to all the other manufacturers now.
